The Cayman Islands First Division is the second-tier league of football in the Cayman Islands. It is organized by the Cayman Islands Football Association.

Format

The league consists of ten clubs. The first-place team each season is automatically promoted to the Cayman Islands Premier League while the runner-up plays against the ninth-best club in the Premier League in a play-off.^[1] There was formerly promotion/relegation between the First Division and the third-tier Second Division but the Second Division was merged with the First Division in January 2025.^[2]

History

Formerly, the league was known as the Foster's First Division for sponsorship reasons.^[3] The First Division was revived in 2020 after being suspended for four years.^[4] During the 2019/2020 season, the Premier League was divided into two divisions and the six lowest ranked teams would compete in the First Division upon its return the following season.^[5]
